I'll take a look, I know it's gonna take a few posts to kick off the dust.

In my mind, Pema and Korra are in a similar situation which also makes it tricky on purpose. Unlike Pema though, Korra bends and actually understands the stress Tenzin goes through, they can better support one another as opposed to Pema sort of losing herself in the family and air bending culture around her. I may not like Pema, but I still see her as wanting to DO something more than rebuilding air bending status and I think that's being on her own and having a more normal life. Korra would want to step out from Lin and Pema's shadow and in a way, that would also add to the angst of their relationship because Korra doesn't want to be another rash judgement nor does Tenzin want history to keep repeating itself.

Really? She seems pretty boring and spineless but I haven't seen her shit on Bolin too much yet. I am a little pissed about everyone shitting on Lin though. And I'm mad that Korra bends metal easily and Bolin doesn't. I'd like it better if Bolin had the natural ability and Korra struggled with it.

Awww...you break mah heart.
